BBQ Pasta Salad with Tuna:

The recipe calls for 1 cup of mayo but only put in 1/2 until you see how it tastes. Different pastas will require a bit more moisture in the sauce and you can add in small amounts until you reach the desired taste and texture!

Directions for Making BBQ Pasta Salad with Tuna:

Boil pasta and let cool. I add ice to the colander after it’s cooked, while I’m making the rest of the salad.

Chop your veggies and eggs while pasta is cooling.

Mash up the tuna into smaller chunks

Add pasta, mustard and 1/2C mayo to bowl. Add tuna, veggies, and eggs. Add mayo in 1/4C increments until you’re satisfied with the consistency. This salad tastes best when allowed to sit overnight before serving. You’ll probably need to add mayo to salad before serving.
